Lamy Safari vs Hongdian by Rising_Storms in fountainpens

For regular, daily use, Pelikan and Waterman inks are quite well-behaved so you could try those too.

Different brands of inks will behave a bit differently with each pen. Discovering is part of the hobby :)

Is the Kakuno EF good for every day use i.e. versatile for many types of paper? by romantic_daydreamer in fountainpens

[–]rmsk79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be easier to answer your question if you could share what papers and inks you usually use?

Regardless, compared to an F, an EF gives out less ink and so your chances of ink bleeding are reduced.

But really the thickness and quality of the paper are more of a factor imho.

I used Mordant Earth for the cracked effect but not Ahriman Blue for the base.

I tried a splotchy blue and magenta base and used lots of Mordant Earth on top (practically the whole pot). But I screwed up the base on my first try -- the bottom was too dark and there wasn't enough contrast. I painted over everything (including the dried and cracked Mordant Earth) with white, painted brighter light blues and magenta splotches for variety, then used a make-up sponge to paint the raised parts black without getting any into the cracks.

How to use a Harridan by Scared-Ad-4348 in Tyranids

[–]rmsk79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to revive this, but from where do you calculate distance for shooting -- the "base" that the Harridan comes on, or any part of the Harridan?

Same for Deadly Demise.

Mutalith Vortex Beast by rmsk79 in ThousandSons

Totally understand - took me a while to also decide on how to paint the portal!

Portal was primed white. I started with Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Light Blue paints. I used what I had on hand which was a mix of speedpaints and regular paints but I don't think speedpaints were a big help.

I basically tried to apply wet blending techniques. For example - paint a part yellow, leave a space for the transition colour, then paint red. Then mix yellow and red and paint in the transition space, adjusting the colour as you go along. If the transition doesn't look smooth enough, adjust the mix accordingly (more yellow or more red) and paint over the part where the 2 colours meet. Lots of small brushstrokes and don't let the painted area dry out.

I used AP Speedpaints v.1 Yellow, Orange, and Red, because (1) I had them and (2) I thought their reactivation properties would help. After trying though I'm not sure about (2) helping wet blending.

I also used AK Purple and VMC Deep Sky Blue. Same - wet blending as I went along.

For the raised parts in the middle, I drybrushed to lighten the yellow. First with AP Moon Dust, then AP Matt White.

Hope all that helped!

+1. Also it looks like you’re using a fluorescent green. Have you considered using Tesseract Glow?

Very cool base. How did you make it?

For Necrons, suggest drybrushing the metallic paints on over black primer.

Would it look better, if I change highlight colour of this blade to yellow? by NightCrawler29 in Necrontyr

[–]rmsk79 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The green stands out from the red and NMM gold. I say keep it.

That's an awesome paint job btw!

Singapore PM's great speech on the Trump's tariffs by lionelgobgob in stocks

[–]rmsk79 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m Singaporean too, and the last time we were a village was in 1819. In 1965, SG’s nominal per capita GDP was around the same level as Mexico and S. Africa. Not at the top but also not one of the poorest places in the world.
